When I want to mix it up in the music department I often turn to beautiful piano arrangements and this one by Gonzales knocks my socks off (this one too). Are you a piano fan, and do you have any favorites you would like to share? I hope you enjoy and I wish you a fantastic Monday.

If you can't get enough and want to hear more from his piano fingers, I actually just bought Gonzales' Solo Piano album to listen to and enjoy on the road trip up to Alt (are you going?) Can't wait to listen to it all the way through.

*P.S. Do you like watching the music video clips I share or would you prefer music play lists? Hit up the comments to tell me what you like best.

what a gorgeous song. i am a huge fan of the piano and when turn to it when i need to unravel my mind. my all time favorite is erik satie's gnossiennes (No. 1 is my favorite). can't wait to listen to more by gonzales. i'd never heard of him!

Thanks so much for sharing! I love music like this for mellow moments. And I like both your playlists and the videos so I say post what moves you. And I'll be at Alt! Hope we'll have a chance to say hi. :)

I love your music choices and have been purchasing some of the albums you recommend. Litte Joy is still making the rounds on my playlists! I like both - just keep the recommendations coming. And thank you for expanding my musical horizons.-BeccaParis At My Doorstep

Love the clips. This guy is so interesting, love how he sits to the side, and still peddles. I can just hear my classically trained piano teacher from 1984 yelling at him to sit straight and to uncross his legs.

oh, and I can never get enough of the piano arrangements from the most recent Pride and Prejudice movie. While I'm partial to the BBC mini series, the music by Dario Marianelli in the more recent movie is fantastic. I'm slowly learning them one by one.

Gonzales was my neighbour in Paris for two years. I felt super priviledged living in the same building and having "private" piano concerts every week. I know he says it but it's true: he's a musical genius!Bisous

I love your Music Monday posts (I prefer videos because I love seeing the artists) and Gonzales is yet another fantastic find! My all time favorite piano piece is "Comtine D'un Autre Ete: L'apres Midi" from the movie "Amelie". I could listen to it over and over again!

i just happened upon your blog for the first time, and {for me} the thing that stands out is your music mondays. digging all of it, btw. the videos are easier for musical browsing;-)thank you for your contributions.
